Yes, you can apply without a test score. Only applicants who already hold an English qualification need to submit it; there is no need to obtain or submit one if you do not have it. Please note that if you do hold an English qualification, the certificate must be submitted once your participation in the internship is confirmed — not at the time of application.

Host companies are determined through the following process:
1. The JIP Office conducts a document screening and a first interview (in Japanese or English).
2. The JIP Office then matches each applicant's skills, experience, and preferences with the host companies' registered profiles and activity plans, prioritizing combinations most likely to achieve the goals of this program.
3. Selected candidates have a second interview with the company, which then decides on its intern.
4. The JIP Office notifies both the company and the candidate of the matching result. Once both parties agree, the matching is confirmed.

Host companies are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with their primary place of business in Japan, spanning a wide variety of industries and regions. Interns and companies are recruited at the same time, and candidates who pass the first interview with the JIP Office will be introduced to companies that match their skills and abilities. You can view past internship cases at the link below.
